Your handle says it all.

From the limited information given, it certainly sounds like they're circling the wagons, and are already in the process of managing you out. Or are hoping that you'll get the hint, and will spare them the trouble.

Or perhaps not. It's hard to tell without more specifics (such as the content of the greasy jokes), and more background context. Which you can't reveal here, for obvious reasons.

So the best thing you can do for yourself is grab a friend (who knows you well enough to catch and criticise you when you're doing something wrong), and ask them to do you a favor, which is to go out for a bit of food and/or drink, and listen to you go over the play-by-play of the various unpleasantness you've experienced, and as much of the background context as you can.

Tell them you appreciate their judgement and you'd really like to know if it was something you did which triggered these reactions, or if it's all from them, or both. In the "Am I the asshole?"† sense.

Even if you what you may have said/done to trigger their reactions may seem fairly trifling, and even if their reactions were ultimately unfair, it would still benefit you to know what the basic chain of causality was.

Also: most likely your performance isn't quite "fine". Or it may seem objectively fine, but still, your manner or dealings with these people may be slightly off somehow. This is something you can ask your manager about directly (in person if at all possible), without revealing your broader concerns. They may well give you vague/wishy-washy answer, but at least that will tell you something.

What do from there? That I wouldn't know. But at the very least, you can benefit from the reflections and feedback you get from what a (reasonably) close friend might tell you.

And then from there -- listen to your gut. In general, in this life, when we get to the point of asking ourselves "Should I stay or should I go?" then that basically means it's probably time to go. It's just a question of timing, and making sure finances are in order (which in the current job market basically means having another job lined up already).

One last thing: Don't worry about the camera toggling, and what it supposedly means. It's really easy to misconstrue this stuff, and it may have been entirely random. Either way, it should carry much less weight than the overtly negative verbal stuff you've been hearing. That kind of stuff is definitely worth running by a friend, if you are fortunately to have one available near where you live.

Best of luck. It's a supremely shitty industry in many ways, and it's just what these people do.

that's exactly what you do to implement an abstraction isnt it?
I am Cuban and from Miami. The culture here is very similar where people will sacrifice everything in order to stay living close to family and "home". Here it stems a lot from the financial anxiety passed down from our parents and a culture where you relied a lot on your entire family. I think it really holds a lot of people back.

I’ve also been toying with a timer based app that incorporates some randomness, which I feel is usually missing or poorly handled in fitness apps. Some random exercises and variable-range durations should improve motivation and give your body a better workout.

To quote Arnie: “You have to shock the muscle, and you have to trick the muscle. The body will adapt to anything you do, so you have to keep it guessing. That’s how you grow.”
Thanks for the typo pointers! It uses DOM elements. This makes it really easy to develop themes with CSS.

I still have the first Chromecast released, it doesn't operate without external power plugged in so I'm not sure about the validity of your comment, at least for the chromecast part
I read this last year after going through some pretty weird oesophageal stuff, and I think if it did work it's almost certainly not because they provided the LES with "resistance training".

A sphincter doesn't provide motility along the oesophagus, it tightens and contracts. The angle at which it does this is irrelevant.

If this was indeed successful, a far more likely explanation is that doing this slowed down their eating and put less pressure on the smooth muscle function of the oesophagus during peristalsis and less pressure on the LES, allowing it some time to rest and perhaps get better at sphinctering.
How I eliminated GERD:

I struggle to understand why any of the above approaches would cause any impact worth maintaining a configuration flag over.
Fair. Your characterization of AI music is a bit ambitious. AI still can't write a breathtaking short story or poem: it can write a mediocre one of standard themes indistinguishable from a student, but that's it. I would argue that AI images is a special case: a photograph is after all not truly "art".
Heh, well I guess the scam is the lie that it's fake. As to what you say, can you cite that?

You're being needlessly pedantic. The top-level comment is saying that they could only live in a big city for {reasons}—it's very very clear that a small town of 5000 doesn't count for them. In that context, the commenter that started this subthread is clearly using "rural" to describe everything that isn't in a big city—places where there are hour-sized gaps between small towns count as rural when it's used to distinguish from "big city".

Trying to insist on a different dividing line between categories is not useful in this context where OP was already clear that they believe a small town doesn't work for them.
This fits with my experience living in SF: people might look different, but if you were to be blindfolded and talk to a group of them, you would struggle mightily to pick out any substantial differences between individuals.

I see a lot of internet commenters (here and Reddit) that act like they’ve outgrown all their friends from childhood/highschool and it always rubs me the wrong way. I’m sure there are folks with actual trauma they are running from, but it generally comes across as incredibly arrogant.
On the topic of odd failure modes involving Crucial SSDs and MSI motherboards (though one that seems to actually be the drives fault) I have a t705 which at some point started only coming up as x2 lanes instead of x4 no matter which board I put it into (with no visible damage or indication as to why, though I did try to wipe down the contact side with some rubbing alcohol anyways).

The particularly interesting part is I have a new x870 motherboard which supports m.2 slot 2 as being 0x, 2x, or 4x CPU direct lanes depending if you want 4x, 2x, or 0x to go to the USB 4 ports respectively. At first it sounds like a good combo - put the drive which wants to run at x2 only in the extra slot where x2 only mode is a reasonable tradeoff and still get great bandwidth because those lanes are pcie 5 and not through the chipset. For whatever reason though that drive only ever comes up in an x4 slot (at x2 speed) but not any x2 slots I've tried. I don't know enough about PCIe to assume why that is for sure but it seemed odd to me it was any way but "something is wrong with the 3rd or 4th lane and setting the slot to x2 lets the first 2 work at x2 the same as when the slot is set to x4 and it only comes up as x2".
I grew up in a small nowhere village, lived in small and large cities, and even Rome. But I think the sweet spot is a small city of about 200k. Though I find that it probably depends on which stage of life you are at. The older I get the more I'm tempted to move to even smaller city. And now, it's even hard to go camping, without civilization being within short driving distance. People are everywhere. My closet is full of winter jackets, that somehow it never gets cold enough for me to wear. I think people sometimes shop for a solution to a problem they don't have. Or that they fear the problem so much they overcompensate.

In a few spots - but not usually. Unless you count terrible design as intentional design.
I'm sure he'd have plenty of offers if he was going to sell it. As long as it really requires a decade of work to produce, somebody might value it at the labor cost as a kind of proof-of-work. But what if he does another copy in only few months by reusing all the part designs? Its value could be destroyed. Probably has to become famous then die so that there's no chance of the same creator flooding the market.
Papers won't help much due to your priors, you'll just question method, design and stats and pretend they confirm your biases. See my answer for why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42528680

> This is just typical for science "journalism".

This one is not that bad.

First, and it is the most important point, it links to the actual studies. So many articles don't do that... Maybe some journalists should be told that unlike paper, the web has hyperlinks, but here, the author knows.

More than that, the article doesn't mentions a single study, and is cautious regarding potential causation. The article title doesn't explicitly mention causation, just that "taxi drivers offer a clue". It is clickbait, but clicks is how they get paid, as mainstream journalists, they don't really have a choice.

As a mainstream news article I'd give it a 9/10. It has sources, makes an effort that goes beyond interpreting a single paper, and talks about shortcomings.
Actually the dismissive answers on this thread are what sounds like 'gigantic pile of rationalization' and cope. LK lays out why well.

If you have both hands at your keyboard, that's 100% true. However, it really works well with workflows which rely on mouse, stylus, touch, or controller input.

Especially when used for "creative" or "artistic" tasks (e.g. painting, video editing, 3D modelling, etc.) pie menus can really have a benefit because you have your hand at the stylus or at the mouse most of the time anyways.
Ask HN: Is it possible to study 5 hrs besides 9-6 on-premise IT job?
I have a huge task at my hand. It's winter and I am totally unable to wake up early. I've bought a oil heater which has helped me a lot. But IDK how can I turn it on in the morning and make the room warmer automatically.

I have really hard time waking up early in the morning. I want to do something in life. I feel quite tired after office even though there is not a lot of work that I do...

Any guidance will be appreciated. Earlier in summer, I was studying 3hrs/day on average productiviely(with 9-6). Now, it's like not evne 45 minutes.
No, it would not be. Their opinion about Z and their opinion about people that care too much about Z are different things.

Your post above is a failed attempt at a petty gotcha.

A heuristic we use at work is to not introduce an abstraction layer until there are at least two different implementations required.

That is if you think you'll probably need multiple implications, delay introducing an abstraction until you actually do.

Also, there are different ways of providing abstraction.

Perhaps you don't need to abstract the entire implementation but, as an example, rather change one parameter from passing a value to passing a function returning a value.
This phrase should not replace a proper plane crash investigation, isn't?

The facts are:

1) Russians fixed the airfield infrastructure in few hours AFTER the crash. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plik:Tu-154-crash-in-smolensk-...

2) Russians directed Polish pilots to descend to 50 meters, as witnessed by Polish pilot Remigiusz Muś, who died after that.

3) Russians cut 16 seconds from the audio record, then provided the full version. ;-)

Yeah, it looks like a regular day in Russia, but Polish president died.
That is what Intel 18A is, no? In some ways it’s worse than N2, and in some ways it’s better. Overall seems comparable to me, and apparently it’s still on track for next year.

They haven't done that step for quite a while now. I feel like people keep repeating that story from years ago. But it doesn't hold anymore unfortunately...
I also sometimes get acid reflux and I wonder if the real reason this person cured his GERD is because the sphincter got a chance to heal properly because of the bed wedge. Once it healed then it could perform properly.
Im aware but I apologize, we're in a thread about passports and I forgot I was on pendant news.
Oh! It's so nice to read something you've thought about your whole life. I have an uncle, now in his late 60s. He and his friends have been living in the same society since kindergarten. They meet almost every day, go on trips, and party at the drop of a hat, always there when they need each other. I've been jealous of that for such a long time. My friends and I, in the pursuit of money, fame, and who knows what, are now spread across continents. We probably speak once or twice a day. Recent friendships haven't stood the test of time.
Not many people can read. In context, getting a good hit on an image or future event is very achievable, but zeroing on set of specific numbers is hard.

Probably possible with error correction and extremely clever design, by you need to hack the 'sensor' to make it work.

Without first hand experience you'll never be able to think about this clearly, due to stigma and materialist priors. So try! :)

It is quite interesting to see how it works
most sensible explanation
No.

Principles and trust require a principled and trustworthy society. We've trained that out of society by a constant cultural drumbeat of "follow your feelings," "authority is always wrong," "tradition is oppression." All of that nonsense is exactly what makes anarchistic takes like this disastrous.

We need people at the gate to keep the fools from doing as they please. We need people at the gate to keep the ones who believe the planet would be better off with out human beings on it from acting. Stupid "I can do what I want because I am better than you" thinking like this has produced the kind of nihilism that means that throwing off the rules doesn't lead to progress, it leads to destruction.

The problems this web site is describing are all of the same stripe: regulatory capture by lobbying groups. That's what needs to be fixed.
I don't think that will prevent data exfiltration. Malicious javascript could create e.g. an img element with the data to exfiltrate stored in a query parameter of the image URL.
This is used in finance, business, law enforcement, and other areas. In the same way that private security firms are used to dig up dirt on counterparties. It's very discrete.

Also, to run a real operation you can't rely on 1 talent. You need to run a team so it's typically outsourced. Companies don't have the political capital to run a real RV department due to stigma, which has surprising power: business is conservative and not always smart (think dress code, remote work, tech debt), so the test of "used widely by business" is not a great test. Many people in tech know that business decisions are not often rationally about what works best.

If you need external validation of why this works, try doing it yourself instead. Then you'll know! :)

Not wasting your career being forced to put out crap seems like a pretty big win to me.

I walked away from what was my dream job, and a large and growing income, after a succession of years in which currents of partner neglect shutdown my ability to move forward at any reasonable pace.

A few years later now, and that big lossy looking move appears to have become a big win.

But it really was a win from the day I quit, in terms of mental health and happiness, no matter how things could have turned out.
It's trained on labelled data - to figure out how to interpret the LLM. But the external system is used only to interpret the hidden states already present in the analysed network. That means the original LLM already contains the "knows/doesn't" signal. It's just not output by default.
I agree completely. As a Dutch myself: "overdaad schaadt", which also teaches some of our pragmatism. We tend to implement simple solutions. We have no time to waste when the water comes in.

Indeed, given that most sql dialects have subtle differences that make them noncompatible with one another, and most ORMs have support for dipping into raw sql, sufficiently large systems tend to end up coupled with a particular database anyway. That's not to mention that the BAs will want raw sql access for report writing and switching systems breaks all of their scripts too.

Cope! I like xkcd but this cartoon is wrong. There's zero doubt psi/RV is real.

I’m not sure that ‘would be used widely by business’ is a great test of anything. Business is pretty conservative. Observe their adoption of technology, of cyber, even of dress code. Not to mention remote work!

Many things that work, as you working in tech in a business context will understand, are specifically not adopted by business for reasons that often don’t make sense (or at least aren’t right) to those who know what works and its value.

Even so, this capability is used by business. It's like a high end sensor system used in D&D and corporate espionage, very discrete.

do you understand that "use one language to emit another language that is then immediately compiled" is literally like hundreds of languages now? numba/cupy/pytorch/jax/julia/etc/etc/etc. they all implement both a high level IR that can be transformed via the high level language (python) and a JIT/compiler/whatever.

The person explicitly made it clear that while you can be encouraged on your own initiatives you still need to be graded/ranked on a common scale with your peers and hence the need for some sort of standardization.

For example, in a recent HN discussion on "Software Developer Productivity" lots of folks were arguing on how you can have no common scale/metrics and so you can make no comparisons at all between developers which is plainly wrong.

Education is about giving everybody a minimum standard of knowledge/tools needed for the Modern World and that is what a Teacher/Professor focuses on. Every Society needs to revere/honour (and pay well !) their Teachers/Professors because they are the ones who build the next generation.
